uuid

UUIDS generator for databases.

It’s good to generate GUIDs for databases, since variability increases from start to end of line, unlike other wyd generators in which variability decreases from start to end of line.

For example this lib will generate:

• 4c32758b-96ff-614a-b969-9b4a4a731347
• 4c32758b-96ff-fe7a-b969-282491172654
• 4c32758b-96ff-bca2-b977-c2bc3ab41fd4

And other libs in most cases will generates:

• b097b7e3-d0fa-4c87-8e7e-1cbcadc25705
• 64827630-3868-4252-afb8-aea4e0eb96ef
• 1ee972b5-5812-4091-9d47-7b852f21d0bf

Features:

• Good for database UUID gengeration.
• UUID sequence variability increases from start to end.
• Uses cryptographically-strong random number APIs (when available)
• Works in Node and Browser

Quickstart - CommonJS (Recommended)

npm install uuid-sequential

Then generate your uuid...

const uuid = require('uuid-sequential');
 
uuid(); // ⇨ '4c32758b-96ff-614a-b969-9b4a4a731347'
uuid(); // ⇨ '4c32758b-96ff-fe7a-b969-282491172654'
uuid(); // ⇨ '4c32758b-96ff-bca2-b977-c2bc3ab41fd4'
